SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,719, dated March 19, 1889'.

Application filed June 26, 1888. Serial No. 278,265. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN B. IVINTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves for Heating Sad- Irons, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to stoves of that class designed for heating sad-irons; and it has for its object to provide a simple and improved stove of this character possessing advantages in point of ineXpensiveness, durability, and general efficiency.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of the stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 00 m, Fig. 2. 4 is a similar view taken on the line y y, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a similar view taken on the line .2 ,2, Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a top or plan view of the base of the stove, the drums being removed. Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view of one of the iron chambers.

Corresponding parts in the figures are denoted by the same letters of reference.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the base portion of the stove, having supportinglegs a and an opening, I), in its front adapted for the reception of a sliding ash pan or drawer, B. Above this opening are a series of draft-openings, 0, provided with a slide, 0, for closing the same. Through the top of the base is a central cylindrical opening, D, having a flange, d, at its lower edge. This flange is grooved at one side to form a bearing, c, for a grate, E, while at the opposite side it is recessed, as shown at c, and through said recess and an elongated slot, a, in the.

base of the stove passes the handle a of the grate, said handle being provided at its end with a shaker, e At the front and rear side of the flange d project lugs d for supporting the grate. Around the opening D the top is provided with a raised portion or collar, E, from the top surface of which project a series of lugs, e.

F designates a cylindrical drum correspon ding to and fitting within the opening I), and having its lower end resting upon the flange (Z. This drum is designed to contain the fire, and is prevented from turning by a lug, f, thereon engaging a corresponding groove, (7/ in the top of the base. The top portion of the drum is contracted, forming a circumferential shoulder, f The extreme upper end of this contracted portion is reduced, as shown at F.

G designates a drum encompassing the drum F, provided with an inwardly-proj ecting flange, g, which engages the shoulder f and revolves thereon, the lower edge of the drum resting upon the lugs c. The drum G is provided with a series of chambers, H, projecting outwardly therefrom and adapted for the reception of sad-irons I. The chambers correspond in shape to the sad-irons, and are provided with approximately V shaped lower ends to accommodate the correspondinglyshaped front ends of the irons, while the front walls of the chambers are provided with slots g, through which project the handles i of the irons, andby which the cylinder may be revolved. The inner sides of the chambers are open, thus permitting the irons to come in direct contact with the heating-surface of the stove. Pivoted to the flange 9 of the drum G are covers J for each one of the chambers, at the outer edge of which are provided lugs j, for opening said covers when the irons are to be placed in the chambers.

K designates the top portion of the stove, provided at its lower end with a circumferential flange, 76, adapted to fit the reduced upper end, f, of the drum F, said top portion being prevented from turning by a lug, 7c, thereon fitting in a groove, f in said drum. This top portion, K, has an opening, it, in its upper face, adapted to be closed by a pivoted lid, L, and from said opening projects downwardly a funnel, M, through which the fuel is fed. The top portion, K, is also provided with a smoke-flue, N, having a contracted upper end, a, for the reception of a stove-pipe.

The operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it appertains. It will be obvious that by providing the sad-iron chambers with open backs the irons are brought in direct contact with the heating-surface, thus permitting the irons to be quickly and economically heated, while their handles, being exposed to the outer air, will remain comparatively 0001. To insert the irons in the chambers it is not necessary to touch the drum, the

lids of the chambers being raised by the irons engaging the lugs thereon, and Which can, after the irons are inserted, be readily closed.

I claim as my invention- In a stove for heating sad-irons, the combination, With a cylindrical drum forming the fire-chamber and provided With a circumferential shoulder, of a rotatable drum encom passing the said fire-chamber, provided With a flange at its upper edge adapted to rest upon said shoulder, and With a series of individual vertically-disposed chambers, each of Which has a top door With a projecting lug and a side slot, and having open backs, whereby the 15 irons are brought in contact with the heatingsurface of the stove, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

JOHN B. WINTER.
